Andrew Garfield Opens Up About Playing Sam Altman!

As we approach the much-awaited release of ‘Artificial’, Andrew Garfield recently revealed that he was initially charmed by Sam Altman before he portrayed the controversial CEO of OpenAI in the new film directed by Luca Guadagnino.

“I remember seeing Sam testifying to Congress for the first time, way back when,” Garfield said on at the movie’s world premiere at the New York Film Festival. “I was like, ‘This guy seems great. He’s honest. He’s transparent. He’s talking about regulation, and he has no stake in OpenAI. We need more of these people in control. He’s incredibly charming and charismatic.’ And then you learn more about a person.”

Garfield, who had invested “two to three months” listening and watching footage of Altman while preparing to play him, described feeling a moral responsibility to participate in a movie like “Artificial.” When they were filming, Garfield recalls, “news stories were coming out every day” about the dangers of AI.

“I wish we could give it even more teeth in a way,” Garfield said. “We need to shine the light as bright as possible at the nooks and crannies of people we’re giving all of our autonomy and power to.”

Garfield was joined at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall by Guadagnino, writer Simon Rich and actors Yura Borisov (as OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever), Ike Barinholtz (as Elon Musk) and Cooper Hoffman (as OpenAI president Greg Brockman). Monica Barbaro, who portrays OpenAI’s chief technology officer Mira Murati, wasn’t in attendance. The movie charts the evolution of OpenAI and dramatises the tumultuous time when Altman was controversially fired and then rehired by the AI giant.

Garfield has a history of portraying many real people on screen, including Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin in the famous “The Social Network” and composer Jonathan Larson in “Tick, Tick… Boom.” Evidently, it’s a responsibility the actor doesn’t take lightly.

LEGO Combines Marvel and Star Wars for First-Ever Crossover Challenge

The LEGO Group has officially announced a first-of-its-kind LEGO Ideas challenge that merges the Marvel and Star Wars universes.

Unveiled at New York Comic Con by filmmaker and comic book writer Kevin Smith, the unique competition invites fan builders from around the world to combine the two iconic, Disney-owned franchises, with the winning grand prize designs ultimately being developed into an official commercial LEGO set.

The creative partnership arrives alongside Smith’s upcoming Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles comic book series, which is slated to launch in January 2027 in anticipation of Star Wars‘ 50th anniversary.

Commenting on the initiative, Smith expressed his enthusiasm for the project’s creative scope, noting that the challenge offers builders an unprecedented opportunity to blend both sci-fi and superhero worlds into a single concept.

Participants can submit original custom builds across three primary categories: vehicles, characters, and scenes. This allows designers to explore imaginative concepts such as outfitting classic starships with advanced superhero technology or bringing characters from both franchises face-to-face.

Fede Begher, senior vice president and head of product group at the LEGO Group, highlighted the historic nature of the event, emphasizing that it unlocks entirely new avenues for storytelling and fan collaboration within the LEGO Ideas platform.

Submissions are currently open on the official LEGO Ideas website, with public fan voting scheduled to kick off on December 8, 2026, ahead of the official grand prize set selections in 2027.

SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi Gifts Fans a Romantic Anthem ‘Boyfriend’ While Serving in the Military! 

Hoshi of K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN recently dropped a new digital single, “Boyfriend,” the latest in a string of solo releases since his military enlistment last year.

“Boyfriend,” according to the singer’s label Pledis Entertainment, is an R&B-based pop track about carefully approaching a loved one. Hoshi co-wrote the lyrics, and the song is built on breezy shuffle rhythms and synthesiser sounds.

Hoshi was enlisted in the Army as an active-duty soldier on Sept. 16 last year, becoming the fourth SEVENTEEN member to begin mandatory military service. He is scheduled to be discharged on March 15, 2027.

On the day he enlisted, he released “Take a Shot,” a hip-hop track for which he co-wrote the lyrics. Pledis has since continued to put out his music during his service, releasing “Fallen Superstar” in November and “Baby, Honey” in March this year. “Snapback,” which Hoshi co-wrote and co-composed, followed in June.

Other SEVENTEEN members have also embarked on individual projects as the group works through its members’ military service schedules.

Jun released his first Chinese-language EP, “9,” on Sept. 28, his first solo release in about three years. The album draws on a Chinese folk tale about a cat that gains nine tails, and Jun took part in writing the lyrics.

Jeonghan and Joshua, the group’s newest unit, are set to release their first EP, “Dreamscape,” on Oct. 19. The seven-track album is led by the song “12 o’clock,” co-written by longtime SEVENTEEN collaborator Bumzu.

Jeonghan became the first SEVENTEEN member to complete his military duty in June 2026, after serving as a social service agent.

Get ready for action, adventure and plenty of fun as LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort unveils its all-new LEGO® CITY-themed rooms at LEGOLAND Hotel!

The new rooms extend the action and excitement of LEGO CITY, a world where children can step into the shoes of everyday heroes and create their own stories through imaginative play, from the Theme Park into the hotel, giving young builders and families the chance to continue their adventures long after the rides have closed for the day. 

The launch of the LEGO CITY-themed rooms adds another exciting dimension to LEGOLAND Hotel Malaysia’s line-up of themed stays, joining its existing PIRATE, KINGDOM, ADVENTURE, LEGO® NINJAGO® and LEGO® Friends rooms.

Step Into the Action with LEGO CITY

The perfect complement to a day spent exploring the rides, attractions and hands-on experiences at LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort Theme Park, the new rooms feature lively city adventure filled with police officers, firefighters, construction crews, deep-sea divers, escaping crooks and playful surprises. Families can also enjoy the signature LEGOLAND Hotel experience, with separate sleeping areas for adults and children, including a bunk bed and pull-out trundle bed for up to three children.

The LEGO CITY-themed rooms create an immersive setting where little heroes can let their imaginations run free as they continue their LEGO adventures even after they leave the Theme Park. Police officers are responding to a jewelry heist, crooks are making their escape and City Heroes are ready to help. Families can follow the action across the room, spot humorous scenes and uncover hidden details during their stay.

“LEGO CITY is all about inspiring children to imagine themselves as everyday heroes, whether they are building, exploring or creating their own stories,” said Ms Thilakavathy Munusamy, Director (Sales & Marketing) of LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort. “With the launch of our new LEGO CITY-themed rooms, we’re bringing that spirit of adventure from our Theme Park’s LEGO CITY zone into the hotel, giving families another opportunity to play and imagine together. We’re excited to offer our guests a new way to experience the LEGOLAND adventure, where the fun doesn’t have to end when the Theme Park closes.”

Make It a LEGO CITY Staycation

Families can experience the new LEGO CITY-themed rooms from 10 October 2026. Beyond the themed surroundings, young guests can take on an in-room treasure hunt, following clues hidden throughout the room to unlock special LEGO surprises, adding another layer of adventure to their stay.

Bangkok Is Getting Five New Hotels

Bangkok will welcome five of the seven planned hotels, each offering something different for travellers visiting the city.

One of the biggest auditions is JW Marriott Bangkok Sathorn, a luxury hotel expected to feature 288 rooms. Beyond comfortable accommodation, the hotel will focus on wellness and lifestyle experiences, with sports and fitness facilities alongside spaces where guests can relax and connect.

Meanwhile, citizenM Bangkok Sukhumvit 11 will introduce the citizenM brand to Thailand for the first time. The 147-room hotel will combine modern design, smart technology and a food and beverage venue in Bangkok’s lively Sukhumvit district.

The Four Points Flex brand focuses on comfortable, reliable and affordable stays, making it suitable for travellers who want convenience without unnecessary extras. 

Pattaya And Phuket Welcome A New Marriott Brand

The expansion is not limited to Bangkok. Two of Thailand’s popular holiday destinations, Pattaya and Phuket, will also welcome new hotels under Marriott’s Series by Marriott brand.

Designed to offer comfortable and approachable accommodation, the brand focuses on providing reliable stays while reflecting the local character of each destination.

The two upcoming hotels are:

  • Easy Planet North Pattaya, Series by Marriott- 192 rooms
  • Easy Planet Phuket Patong, Series by Marriott- 142 rooms

Both properties will mark the brand’s debut in Thailand, giving travelers more accommodation choices when planning their next beach holiday.
